Congrats Mark.....
15 is a lot of thayeri in one clutch......So you should get about 15 different looking offspring.....LOL

I had two good clutches of 13 and 14 so far.....as well as a clutch with only 4 good eggs and another with only 6 good eggs........But I had a female lay 18 slugs too......That is the largest Thayeri clutch I have ever seen....Some years ago I had a female lay 17 good eggs......Josh Loehr had a female lay 18 fertile eggs this year......WOW....

these large clutch size might be reflective of nutrition and being selectively bred?????
